Consumer Description

My battery has continually been dead, despite replacing the battery twice. I just had to call roadside assistance last weekend on Saturday. Yesterday (Sunday), the battery was dead again - 8 days later. This happened several times when I first got my car, and Subaru replaced the battery, as the car was still under warranty. I have since replaced the battery twice, and am still having the same issues. This is extremely frustrating, considering one of the main reasons I bought this car was for the reliability.
